| Re: Where? You should have removed WinPoet before installing RASPPPoE, for 1 thing. Sometimes they won't coexist peacefully. (I realize this leaves you without a net connection if you need more help... I used DialUp until I had it working.)
I'm not entirely sure how to go about this if it doesn't happen automatically. Perhaps removing WinPoet will work. Anyone else got any ideas? | |

| You may want to remove AOL before installing RASPPPOE, and in some cases, RASPPPOE wil not peacefully co-exist with WinPoET or with VPN, although I've heard of cases where it has.

|
 |  |  | Anon | nope. but i will try the other options u guys said. thx for the help everyone. two more question though, how much more memory does WinPoet eatup than RasPPPoE? and How come somtimes my browser seem to "freeze" for a few seconds before displaying a web page (it happens on downloads too sometimes)? | |

Does it happen before the download starts, or during? -- Sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked. Join the DSL Reports SETI@Home club. Put your unused clock cycles to work! | |
|
 |  |  |  |  | Anon | Re: Where? during. for exemple the file downloads at a certain speed and all of a sudden the 2computers icon stops signalling and my speed drops significantly. then after awhile it starts downloading again. sort of like it has to stop to catch "breath" before receiving more data. | |

| Re: Where?
OK, another question. Does it happen on every download? If not, then it's likely due to the server you are downloading from. -- Sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked. Join the DSL Reports SETI@Home club. Put your unused clock cycles to work! | |
|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Anon | Re: Where? hmm...good question. i think it happens most of the time if i just d/l directed by clicking on a link. but it doesn't show this problem when i use a download program like download accelerator. | |

join:2001-01-25 Clermont, FL | I know what you're talking about and I think it's just Windows/IE. I've had it happen for a long time now, even on dialup. | |
|
 |  |  |  |  | Anon | Re: Where?
yes..after uninstalling almost everything like you guys said RasPPPoE finnally worked. its much better than WinPoet thx guys. i have a minor question though: every time i close my browser a message window pops out asking if i want to close the connection..(obviously i dont) since its kinda annoying, is there anyway i can disable this message? | |

| Re: Where? Yeah, it should have a checkmark on it for that. If not, you can go into DialUp Networking and change it there. Disable the idle and the thing that says 'Disconnect when connection may not be needed'
(Right-click on the RASPPPoE connection and click Properties, then choose the 'Dialing' tab) | |
|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Anon | Re: Where? i tried that but there is no dialing tab. the only tabs that show are General, Server Types, Scripting, and Mutilink | |

| Re: Where?
You're looking in the wrong place. Go to Internet Options, either from the IE Tools menu or the Control Panel, connections, settings, advanced and make sure that the two boxes are unchecked there. -- Sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked.

| i junked my WinPoET after obtaining RASPPPoE... erm, that is, i uninstalled WinPoET BEFORE installing RASPPPoE. i left my AOL as is... doesn't seem to be interfering with my RASPPPoE. good luck... just read the instruction carefully and there shouldn't be any problem. -- "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." -William Jennings Bryan
